Rotavirus removal in waste stabilization ponds is a relatively slow process: in a series of ten ponds (a 1-d anaerobic pond followed by nine 2-d ponds) its numbers were reduced from 1.4 × 105 per litre to zero, and in an “innovative” series (a 1-day anaerobic pond, 3-d facultative pond, 3.8-d, 3-d and 5-d maturation ponds) from 5.1 × 104 per litre to <5 per litre. Faecal coliforms were better indicators of rotaviruses than was Clostridium perfringens .

Waste Stabilization

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of choosing an appropriate mathematical model when analyzing the data from laboratory-scale studies of waste stabilization ponds. Two case studies are presented based on work by Thirumurthi and Nashashibi (1967) and Uhlmann et al (1983), both using semicontinuous methods of experimentation involving the addition of discrete volumes of feed at regular intervals. In both cases the authors have used mathematical models of continuous processes to analyse their results. This paper shows how semicontinuous models can be used in both studies, leading to significant differences in interpretation of the data; in the first case study this relates to the determination of rate constants and, in the second case study, to the determination of an appropriate model to describe hydraulic mixing. Each case study concludes with a discussion of the significance of the semicontinuous interpretation in the context of waste stabilization pond design.

Abstract This paper investigates the determined the required log reductions for human intestinal helminth eggs by waste stabilization ponds as simulation as assessing of mitigating health risk to satisfy practice WHO, 2006 guidelines for the safe use of wastewater in agriculture (≤ 0.1 helminth egg/L) to protect the health of children under 15 years was the development of MATLAB, a computer program based waste stabilization ponds design based on parameter uncertainty and 10,000-trial Monte Carlo simulations were developed for a series of anaerobic, facultative and maturation ponds based on 95%-ile of effluent (≤ 0.1 helminth egg/L) which the result in a health-based target. Whereas the influent of the helminth eggs (Nematode) was (932.500 eggs/L). While the treatment provided (100 % reduction/removal) for the overall treatment process with total hydraulic retention time in climatic conditions of Libya it took 36.207 days in the anaerobic pond, facultative pond, first maturation pond and one of the subsequent maturation pond.

Parameter Variations

Two PC-based waste stabilization pond design procedures, based on parameter uncertainty and 10,000-trial Monte Carlo simulations, were developed for a series of anaerobic, facultative and maturation ponds to produce ≤1000 E. coli per 100 ml for both 50% and 95% compliance. One procedure was based on the classical Marais equations and the other on the modern von Sperling equations. For the range of parameter variations selected the classical design procedure required less land area and had a shorter hydraulic retention time than the modern design procedure. For both procedures the design for 90% compliance required substantially more land and a longer retention time than the design for 50% compliance. Regulators and designers should seek a balance between system reliability (as set by the percentage compliance specified or adopted) and system costs, especially (but not only) in developing countries. It is recommended that new waste stabilization pond (WSP) systems be designed for compliance with a given E. coli effluent requirement by the classical procedure and that existing overloaded WSP systems be upgraded using the modern procedure.

The most important determinant when recycling of wastewater for agriculture is that related to public health. This paper investigates the removal of Escherichia Coli/coliform in the waste stabilization pond as simulation as assessing of mitigating health risk. A case study in climatic conditions of Libya. As a result of a computer program based waste stabilization pond design based on parameter uncertainty and 10,000-trial Monte Carlo simulations, were developed for a series of anaerobic, facultative and maturation ponds to produce on a 95%-ile value <1000 E. Coli per 100 ml. While a number of influent of E. Coli bacteria was (156.732×106 E. Coli /100ml). Where it decreased was a number of the effluent (10 E. Coli /100ml). Where the efficiency of removal E. Coli bacteria was (99.999 %). And the overall hydraulic retention time it took 89.548 days in the anaerobic pond, facultative pond, first maturation pond and twelve of the subsequent maturation ponds. To satisfy practice 2006 WHO guidelines for the safe use of wastewater in agriculture.
